Children’s
Ski Lessons

AGES 5-15 | ALL LEVELS

PDS Academy offers private and group children’s ski lessons for all levels. We present a fun and captivating pathway taking them on a journey through our Academy.

Our team is made up of inspirational British ski instructors that are guaranteed to build a fantastic rapport with your child and leave them telling stories of their adventures and experiences for years to come! We can guide them from grasping the penguin park through to skiing their first black run, mastering their first trick or acing their competition.

WHAT’S YOUR CHILD’S LEVEL?

STARTERS

LEVEL

GREEN | Never been skiing before

This is for complete first-timers – those that have not even been on an indoor slope. Whether your child is nervous or excited we understand every child feels differently about their first ski lesson. Our team is made up of fully qualified, British ski instructors who are able to adapt to your child’s needs and create a fun, exciting and memorable first experience on skis.

SLIDERS

LEVEL

GREEN | Tried once or twice | Snowlife 1/2

Had a go a couple of times? Can manage a nursery slope whilst holding a snowplough? Maybe make a few snowplough turns? Sliders is designed for those children who have tried skiing a couple of times before but want to go that bit further. By the end of the week, we’ll have your children exploring some of the Portes Du Soleil peaking with a presentation and some cool prizes!

EXPLORERS

LEVEL

BLUE | Rabbit Runs | Snowlife 4/5 | ESF Fleche

Explorers are group ski lessons designed for children to start moving around the mountain and exploring what is on offer. They can adventure over to neighbouring resorts, try the fun parks, race their friends and explore some easy routes through the trees. We have created a program that gives them just that but also teaches them how to be safe in the mountains and take that next step under the tuition and guidance of industry experts.

Your children need to be able to slide, stop and turn on blue terrain comfortably. A slight snowplough at this stage is still ok.

ADVENTURERS

LEVEL

RED | Rabbit Runs | Snowlife 6 | ESF bronze+

Exactly what it says on the tin! Our aim is to go on a different adventure each day. They will discover new and hidden runs working on techniques to conquer exciting challenges as they go. They will ski on blues and reds throughout the week, as well as discovering hidden gullies, forests’ and jumps!

Skiers should be comfortable on blue runs, skiing mostly parallel, unless the conditions are tricky.

WHAT WE DO

Explore new trails and hidden paths

Take them all over the mountain on jumps, bumps and a little off piste

the academy

LEVEL

The academy is specifically designed for children that are looking for more than just a ski school. If they want to ski fast, try off piste, race their friends, learn some new tricks in the park and have an awesome time, we have created a program that gives them just that. It also teaches them how to be safe in the mountains and take that next step under the tuition and guidance of industry experts.

What level do I need to be?

If skiing parallel down reds is no longer a challenge then it is time for your child to explore more of the mountain. The hot shot academy is second to none when it comes to inspiring future development and accelerating your child’s progress. This is the time to learn steeper slopes, jumps, bumps and how to deal with all kinds of snow conditions.

WHAT WE DO

Provide appropriate safety equipment and teach them how to use it (transceivers, probes and shovels)

Take them all over the mountain on jumps, bumps and a little off piste

WOULD PRIVATE LESSONS
BE BETTER FOR YOUR CHILD?

During a private lesson we can truly cater for your child’s individual needs whether it’s their first time on skis or they want to get better on the piste, through the bumps, off piste, in the park or around the race gates. It is also a chance for those not quite ready for our academy program to have some quality time to prepare for it or for those with a specific goal in mind.
